Spokesperson for the National Disaster Management Agency, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, said that the area around the mountain is still in the status of the third level alert and the public is encouraged to remain calm.

"Do not panic, stay away from the radius of 6 to 7.5 kilometers as recommended PVMBG," Sutopo said via Twitter.

Potential hazards that may occur are ash rain in areas that enter the Estimated Danger Zone. Currently the wind is blowing to the southeast.

"It is expected that all communities, especially those living around Mount Agung and on the island of Bali, to immediately prepare masks cover the nose and mouth and eye protection in an effort to anticipate the potential dangers of volcanic ash," PVMBG.
